Power Protein Oatmeal: My Go to Breakfast

Getting in the first meal of the day is a struggle for many.  Making it healthy seems to be a bigger challenge.  I always tell my clients that they need to eat something, even if it is a smoothy.  Studies show that whose who eat with in 30 minutes of waking have a higher metaoblism and binge less later and take in few calories thoughout the day.  Including a protein source when making your breakfast choice is equally important.  Protein will help you stay fuller longer. According to researcher Nikhil V Dhurandhar of WedMd, "Compared to the bagel eaters, overweight women who ate two eggs for breakfast five times a week for eight weeks as part of a low-fat, reduced-calorie diet, lost 65% more weight, reduced waist circumference by 83%, reported higher energy levels, and had no significant difference in their …blood cholesterol or triglyceride levels."

Here are some easy and healthy choices for breakfast:

• 2 Hard boiled eggs and Ezekiel Bread with Oraganic Sugarfree Jam

• Power Protein Oatmeal (see below)
